When the moon is waxing and almost full, it exerts an influence not only on the tides of the oceans but also on the currents within our body. Children's currents move quicker and stronger than adults, and the full moon is a wonderful opportunity to treat, improve and balance a child's health as they grow.

Pediatric Lunar treatments, originate from Japan. They are typically done for infants and children up until the age of 10 each month right before the full moon to enhance the immune system, strengthen the constitution, improve digestion, prevent and treat allergies and illnesses, and nourish the spirit - balancing your child's developing organ systems and meridians, or energy pathways. Best of all, kids love it!

Treatments are painless, gentle and consist of Shonishin: massage with Japanese tapping tools which never penetrate the skin, Tuina, and occasionally moxa, cupping and essential oils. A session typically lasts only 30 minutes and it's amazing what improvements you may see in your child's health!

When a child is given 12 treatments per year, once a month, problems that might arise due to weather, diet, emotions, or lifestyle will be avoided. The child’s treatment can be fine-tuned for any acute concerns.

"Leela loved her treatment with Pocean, she was getting over a cold so she got a little extra immune boosting and was visibly improved after her treatment, going from coughing all day to barely at all! She also conked out for a long peaceful nap and woke up happy, no whining, and asking for 'more treatment pwease'! We will see you next full moon!"​Ashley Shanti, Doula, Mother, Santa Cruz CA

"I brought my 6 month old baby in for her Monthly Pediatric Lunar treatment with Jeannine Ruskin. It's a meridian treatment to stimulate the immune system and creates balance throughout the body. She was friendly, gentle with my baby, professional and knowledgable. I really appreciated that she showed me a couple of techniques for massaging my baby at home. I look forward to our next months appointment."​Jemini, Hair Stylist & Personal Organizer, Mother, Ben Lomond CA​
